The media keeps us informed and is always present in our everyday lives. The invention of the printing press in the XVth century brought about the first newspapers at the beginning of the XVIIth century. Further technological advances allowed for the first radio broadcasts at the end of the XIXth century. While the radio transistor grew in popularity, the first steps were being taken in the world of television during the first part of the XXth century finally reaching all homes by the end of this same century.

The Internet has revolutionized all by media and has given way to new possibilities. However, and for the time being, newspapers, radio and television are still present in our day to day life.

What exactly is there behind a newspaper? What is the process followed from the moment something happens to the moment the news becomes print?

What about radio? How do the radio broadcasters’ voices or our favourite songs reach our homes?What about television? How is a program recorded?

These and other question will be answered in our interdisciplinary project: The media!
